Apart from that I think that using the block form of map would make it a whole lot more obvious which part of this is being iterated over, which I know you'll disagree with, possibly vehmently :), I think description of how it works in this post is infinitely more useful as a comment that the original.

I tried (really hard) to understand the code without the original comment. I eventually gave up and read the comment, and frankly was none-the-wiser. Maybe in the context of the surrounding code it might have clarified more. Once I read your description here, I finally understood what the code was doing, and how it was doing it.

On that basis, I would use the description from this post, including the update, in preference to the original.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
